Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending June 14, 2019

  Compared to last week all reporting forages sold steady on thin test.  Good 
buyer inquiry was noted from all dehy pellet contacts. Some feedlots are getting 
short on grinding type forages especially on the western side of the state. 
Producers have been busy dodging rain as they try to cut and bale early season 
grass and first cutting of alfalfa. Some new crop alfalfa has been sold at 1.05 
per point on RVF results. Some farmers have decided to take preventive planting 
as others keep trying to finish on corn and soybeans. All sales are dollars per 
ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise noted.
